yeah, I would suggest to divide Russian aircraft into Early and Late modifications with 27ER being the dividing factor.
Although MiG-29 underperforms in the current meta, and it’s impossible to say wether it’s becasue of lack R-73 or dubious FM.
Frankly it really is a tricky question, Block 10 and below F-16s are strong one-trick ponies, you take their subsonic agility and its an IR slinger in a BR where 3rd gen jets already have a reliable BVR capability.
That makes them weaker than those 3rd gen? In other times, I’d say no categorically. The falcon is still a stupidly good plane for the furball meta in my opinion. Now I just say no, but it still remains to be seen how much it is really underperforming on average.
And that’s what happens when planes are judged in a vacuum, it ends up being a problematic discussion where common sense tells you 12.3 is already a strong BR for the F-16s, but whenever the stat argument is dragged on the table and you realize its not only the US, but also the Netz and the dutch analogues, you only then realize the magnitude and consequences of compression.
And when Gaijin announces BR changes, they deliberately ignore the premium Su-30s and the bump of top tier to 15.0, and instead they go for compression, as they know they still can monetize their flankers thoroughly for another couple months if they keep them at a br where they can still dominate if played barely right smh.

Yeah Pigeon has a compulsive need to glaze the F-15A in areas where it’s crystal clear it doesn’t truly excel.
Gain also confirmed more rank 8 premiums coming to the game soon.
This is gonna be fun
F15A radar I’ve never had issues with it, always an issue with not launching soon enough to hit the target before some other missile does 😂
No it should not lol, it should lose the R27ER missiles if it gets the R73 missiles.
Think so? I’ve always hated the R27R it’s done barely anything for me.
Actually prefer R24R over it.
Nah it has no lprf/pulse mode so if someone goes side one radar immediately goes to mem track and loses lock.
Plus the missiles have very limited relock capability
Hmd on big 29 is so nice plus it has mem/irst which helps keep lock on
Recently was spading the mig29n and r-27r was basically useless, while r27er is a monster missile.
Flying the f-15a and then mig-29 after is complete night and day
It’s radars still good lol, maybe not as good as the under BRs 18C which is a topic for another thread.
But it’s still good.
Easy ragebait
why do you speak such FACTS OMG i love when people actually see the real problems
